Entanglement
The state of a multi-qubit system can either be a product state or an entangled state. In this video, David Elkouss (QuTech) explains the very puzzling feature of quantum entanglement and how to quantify it. He also tells us about the Bell states and how they form a basis for all two-qubit states.
